Creating meals by bundling existing foods?

[nsegers]

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to do what I'm thinking of.

I often cook the same meals using products with barcodes, so I scan the barcodes to input my intake on the fitbit app. 

However it would be a lot more efficient if I could create a meal by bundling together a bunch of foods. So let's say for my breakfast smoothie, I could check off that it includes my frozen strawberries, peanut butter, milk, etc etc. Then when I make that for breakfast instead of searching for all those individual foods, I can just say I had my smoothie and it includes all those things.

I've tried poking around the app and the closest I can get is creating a custom food, but that's like starting from scratch which I don't want to do.

Has anyone been able to do something like this?

Hi @JReynolds, it's great to see a new member around!

Thanks for your question, and let me share that there is an option in the online dashboard to create specific meals. I found this very helpful as when I'm cooking, I'm able to add all the individual ingredients only once, and if I cook the same meal another day, I can just choose that meal from Favorites. Here are the steps:

1. On your online dashboard, log in to your Fitbit account.
2. Click on "Log" at the top of the screen.
3. Find "Favorites" from the right side of the food section, and click on "Meals".
4. Click on "Create a meal" and enter a name for it. Then click "Save".
5. On the "Add Foods" section you can begin to add the individual foods for this meal. After each food item, click the "Add to Meal" button.
6. When you are done, click on I'm done.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
